Wipers Rubbing

[scarface]

Noticed for a while that when its raining and use the wipers, they rub against window and make a crappy noise when on. Does this mean they need replacing or adjusting?

If replacing, where do you get them from, what do i need and how much are they. Also how easy are they to fit. Do you use special ones, or just standard ones.

Thanks in advance.

Probably just need replacing - they tend to perish over the winter months. There are loads of options, I just bought some Bosch floppy wipers that fit on the standard arms and they are great - no judder at all. About £20 a pair I think off eBay or just pop down to Halfords and grab some.

I had the exact same problem,

I got some of these fitted them today, amazing quality and work 100% better than standard- under £10 delivered too

Cheers man il check that out. If i done buy off ebay, do halfords sell them?

is there a particular size i need?

 

[scarface]

whats the difference between the flat wiper blades and normal ones?

 

[MATTCR]

From my experience, once you go flat you'll never go back

You need 21" and 19", and halfords charge about £20 as I checked at the weekend

because i'm bored

From here

Just clip straight on to the standard arms, 2 minute mod! Not as clean looking as MkIV conversion though, so be warned....

Ideally you need 18" for the passenger side, 19" looks like this.....

.....don't really notice it, but I know it's there!
But just got them in a hurry as old blade had split & couldn't afford a proper conversion.
Hope that helps mate

They will be the same as any Leon, Mk 4 Golf etc.

how much for the full conversion? and erm what is a full conversion?

 

[scarface]

just seen some bosch ones online costing £28 but they 26'', above posts suggest you need 21 and 19''.

Can the blades all be cut down to size? i just want some decent ones that dont need cutting!

BOSCH Aerotwin FLAT Wiper Blades 2 x 26" (650mm)

You get 2 new arms and 2 new blades cots around £80 ish, and you can hardly see them in the parked position.
These need the passenger one trimming down by an inch.

Or you can buy aero blades that fix to your standard arms for less than £20.

You need 20 " and 19"
